Summary:
Si dans le dossier du numéro précédent nous cherchions des voies d’accès vers tous les affects susceptibles de nous sortir de la torpeur, dans celui-ci, nous abordons la réflexion d’un point de vue plus stratégique, intéressé·es par le refus d’être divisibles. Puisque nous étions tendu·es entre la nécessité forte de riposter et le désir poignant de construire les solidarités, nous avons découpé ce souhait en deux gestes, deux numéros. Mais ils ne sont pas que compatibles: ils ne fonctionnent pas l’un sans l’autre. La colère, le dégoût, la joie, la honte sont nécessaires à tout élan de survie. L’entraide aussi. Nous n’arrivons pas à imaginer d’où pourrait venir l’insurrection, parce que les espaces pour l’organiser manquent. Comment les (re) créer et avec celleux qui sont seul·es, abandonné·es ou encore marginalisé·es? Qui inviterez-vous pour élargir le cercle?

Summary:
The current boom in misogynistic dynamics and topoi builds on a long tradition of gender discrimination against women while also – as this issue argues – exploiting recent technological and political developments. Rather than examining individual sexist practices or remarks in isolation, our current issue addresses misogyny as a cross-cultural phenomenon that expresses a deep-seated, albeit often unconscious, derogatory attitude toward women. In doing so, the focus is on how this attitude is manifested in literature, art, and pop culture, as well in prevailing media and sociopolitical conditions.

Summary:
''Los Angeles Lost and Found'' is a collection of essays and photographs that explores Los Angeles as a city of constant reinvention, where history is often buried beneath layers of change. Experience designer Margaret Chandra Kerrison uses the lens of narrative placemaking to examine how LA’s physical spaces—its streets, neighborhoods, and landmarks—shape both individual and collective identity. What sets this collection apart is Kerrison’s deeply personal approach. She weaves her own story into the fabric of the city’s landscape, grounding cultural analysis in lived experience. Her reflections on the recent Los Angeles wildfires are especially poignant, revealing how natural disaster can strip a place down to its essence and reshape the stories we tell about it. Through these moments of vulnerability, she illustrates how loss and resilience are embedded in the urban environment. Blending memoir with observation, Kerrison highlights how overlooked spaces carry emotional weight and cultural memory. In doing so, she invites readers to view Los Angeles not just as a city of spectacle, but as a living, breathing narrative. Los Angeles Lost and Found is both intimate and expansive, offering a portrait of a city that continues to inspire and challenge those who call it home—or dream of doing so.

Summary:
The Gothic era produced some of the Western world’s most imposing structures, today icons of the European cityscape. Unlike buildings from the Renaissance onward, these medieval works are rarely discussed as the products of the ingenious, innovative contributions of individual architects. This book challenges that common perception by asserting the significant impact of draftsmanship on the development of the Gothic style from the twelfth to early sixteenth century. The rediscovery of a little-known corpus of architectural drawings and prints reveals the crucial role of drawings in the development of complex and visually appealing structures—from monumental stone cathedrals to small liturgical objects. "Gothic by design" includes surprising ties to contemporary concerns, showing how these works on paper functioned on and off the building site, established the basis for modern concepts of artistic identity and intellectual property, and provided evidence of the long afterlife of Gothic design strategies and their potential use today in sustainable architecture.

Summary:
Anni Albers (1899–1994) has long been revered as a trailblazing weaver, textile designer, and visual artist; she also was an insightful and eloquent writer, and her books On Designing and On Weaving are canonical writings in design history. "Anni Albers: Constructing textiles" explores the ideas of materiality, construction, and architecture across her body of work, establishing her legacy as a thinker, theoretician, and innovator. The book’s essays include essential writings by Albers herself on the making and meaning of textiles, as well as new pieces by Glenn Adamson on her relationship to architecture, Karis Medina on the material and technique of her weavings, Amy Jean Porter on her writing, and Jeffrey Saletnik on East Asian influences in Albers’s work and thinking. Among the book’s hundreds of beautifully reproduced images are works held in private collections that have never before been published. An essential volume in the literature about modernism, this book reinforces Albers’s position as a leading figure in twentieth-century art.

Summary:
Seamlessly interweaving the new with the historic, the renovation by Selldorf Architects preserves The Frick Collection’s Gilded Age grandeur and sense of tranquillity while making more of the museum accessible and adding important new amenities. A museum of memorable rooms and superb Old Master holdings, The Frick Collection, the former home of industrialist Henry Clay Frick, is one of New York City’s most beloved art institutions. Designed by Thomas Hastings of the New York firm of Carrère and Hastings, the original Fifth Avenue mansion was completed in 1914 and served the Frick family until 1931. With John Russell Pope’s expansion of the mansion in 1935, which included the addition of a library (today’s esteemed Frick Art Research Library), the residence was converted into a public museum. The goal of the renovation was to honor the architectural legacy and unique contemplative atmosphere of the Frick while adding new space and critical infrastructure updates. Visitors will enjoy the enhanced functionality of the institution, and its improved climate controls will ensure the preservation of the collection and the house for generations to come.

Summary:
In this handbook, Caroline Voet unravels the design principles of Dutch Benedictine monk and architect Dom Hans van der Laan (1904–1991). His ideas about spatial experience and proportions – in particular his unique discovery of the series of plastic numbers and the measurement system derived from it – have had a major influence and are still very much alive today. Step by step, Voet redraws Van der Laan's philosophy of architectural space and links it to his proportional system of the plastic number in a series of clear, carefully constructed analyses. The principles of his elementary architecture – further developed by the Bossche School – are examined on the basis of completed projects, from monasteries to residential houses. With this book, Voet offers universal tools for reading the built environment and linking it to a layered human scale. They are powerful instruments for the complex design challenges of the future.

Summary:
This collaborative exploration invites us to pause and reconsider what truly shapes the spaces we inhabit. Rooted in the belief that domesticity is not a static setting for everyday life but a living and evolving experience, the book expands from the scope of the architectural lens. By reintroducing home as something felt, remembered, imagined, and continuously made, this publication tackles the issues of dwelling, belonging and shared living with architects, interior architects, educators, designers, and practitioners whose work touches on care, intimacy, and everyday rituals. Divided into two correlated parts- Reflections and Exercises- the book brings together twenty-one contributes including essays, conversations, and interactive exercises.While Reflections invites you on a journey through alternating perceptions and experiences of domestic life,Exercises opens a space to explore home yourself: not just as a concept, but as a personal, unfolding experience. Inherently tied to space. Closely connected to the decorative.A reminder of the presence of hospitality. A shared exercise in practicing domesticity.?
